It's a me to you bear with a bottle and says baby by the side, I stitched for my son too he has Winnie the Pooh characters flying a kite
 
Sweet! Bet the backstitch will be a pain in the bum!
 
Wish I was talented enough to stitch...my mom tried to teach me ages ago but I wasn't very good at it. Oddly enough, I'm really crafty and good at almost everything else and that's the only craft my mom enjoys haha.

Thanks mari for info about magnesium. I've been taking it for a few days now...was excited that I didn't have a headache yesterday or the day before but had one today. Hopefully it starts working soon!

Also...we put in an offer on a house today! Really crossing our fingers and toes on this one (it's an impossible market out here...we've already tried offering on 4 houses but they all go over asking or people offer to pay seller's closing fees or other things that we can't compete with). We are supposed to hear by noon tomorrow at the latest but most likely tonight. We know it's down to us and one other couple so we are just praying that this is the one for us!
 
OH and I have tentatively agreed on the names Everett Michael for a boy and Amelia Iris-June for a girl. Everett is OH's grandfather's middle name and Michael is OH's middle name and his dad's first name. Amelia is just a name we liked and Iris is in honor of my angel daughter and this baby being my rainbow and June is my OH's grandmother's name. Middle names were quite easy because I always use family names. I started with my son almost 8 years ago and I'm sticking with it. First names were much more difficult. We've been discussing names since we started TTC in 2014, so we had a lot of time to find something we both liked.

We have our next ultrasound on April 7th. I'll be 18+4 then so we should be able to find out the gender. :happy dance: I was certain I was having a girl through most of my pregnancy, but over the last few weeks I've been less sure. I don't have a preference really so I'm super excited to find out.
 
We just got verbal acceptance of our offer!!! Yippeeee! Everything will be signed by tomorrow morning :] Will hopefully sleep well tonight :]

aidensxmomma...love both of your name choices! Amelia or some version was on my list but my husband is so picky.

It's Lincoln or Avery for us :]
 
Yay! Congratulations Amantilia! House buying is so stressful, we've just been through it as MrMoo has bought a house to rent out, with a deadline of 31st March to complete as stamp duty fees are added after that date. Sadly he picked the wrong solicitor who didn't get it through, even though the offer was accepted in December, and there was no chain on either side, so really it should have gone through weeks and weeks ago, he left it too late to get the mortgage money. MrMoo will now be facing a new battle to get the solicitor to pay the stamp duty and waive his fees.

Had a dream last night where I was on a weekend trip with the girls and I'd had my baby, it was a boy, who I'd named Daniel. My friend whose baby has recently passed away was also there, and I found out that she'd called her baby Danny, so felt really bad and it was really awkward... Then as I was there thinking Daniel would be needing a feed soon, I realised that my little bundle had a tail, and was my mum & dad's cat! So went into a massive panic wondering where Daniel was and knowing that he'd be needing me for a feed. Woke up before I managed to find him. I hate it when things are left unresolved!
 
Ladies I just had to post this pic to show you all. It's April 4th and this is the view from my front porch!! We got a snow storm last night. Where is spring?!?! I have no more words......lol

mummamoo - that is beautiful stitching:) I was I had that talent!!

Aman - no problem. The magnesium did for work but it took several weeks to take. I did eat alot of bananas too! lots of water will help as well. Sorry you had another headache. I had a bad one 2 days ago that lasted all through the night. I think it was a tension headache as my back and neck muscles were very sore. Congrats on the new house!!! So exciting:) Love both your name choices!

aidensmomma - those are both great names:) That is great you will be able to find out the gender this week. Mine is April 6th and I am so excited!!
 
Mumma thank you for sharing that dream. I find it fascinating to hear about. I'm having crazy vivid, sometimes disturbing dreams as well. Last night, I dreamt that I was would be pregnant three times but only two of the babies would live, which I guess at this point counts as a reassuring dream since I've already had the loss. But I woke up relieved to find I was still pregnant.

On a lighter note, I also dreamed I found my old teddy bear at work, but was surprised and confused when it began to purr like a cat when I hugged it :haha:
 
I had a doozy of a dream last night- in it, my sister put my niece in my bed at my parents' house and told me that I should be happy sleeping on such a plush carpet. Never mind that I am 19 weeks pregnant.

Did I mention that all the people who are close to me in real life are horrible in my dreams? I wake up so angry from these dreams, it takes a while to get back to sleep.
 
mumma: that stitch is so cute!

aman: congrats on the house! perfect time for your LO to arrive :)

mari3: that's actually really beautiful. We never get snow here so I haven't seen snow in a long time. It's already pretty warm now, feels like getting ready for summer.

I can't believe how many of you have names all picked out for both genders! I'm still sort of waiting for the gender scan before really thinking of different names. I was considering also having multiple candidates, then after the baby comes out, to look at the baby and be like oh he/she looks like a ____. Hahaha not sure how realistic that is, like will I really be in the mood to make a decision right after labor?

I've been having vivid dreams for weeks now. I have had several food dreams. I had one dream in which I was eating at benihana (japanese food that they cook in front of you) and the chef gave me less food than the other people around me. I got so mad!! I was like "why are you giving me so little, is it cuz I'm a girl and you think I eat less? Guess what! I'm pregnant, DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS?" And then I proceeded to lecture him on what pregnancy means, and demanding that I wanted food NOW. I was so exhausted when I woke up that day lol.

In general I'm having some really weird relationship with food nowadays. I'm not nauseous, and I am trying to eat small meals frequently. But I NEVER feel satisfied. I feel full a lot like physically filled up my stomach, but I always feel very unsatisfied. It's pretty uncomfortable.
 
lol @ you both! My dreams really have been so weird, it makes me feel a lot better (more normal) to hear about yours :haha:
 
mumma...that sounds like a huge pain with the house situation! Hopefully your hubby is able to get the fees waived since it sounds like the solicitor just didn't do his job :/

mari...all of my friends in the NE are posting similar pictures today haha. No snow here...but it is 35 degrees and too cold for spring! And I'm going to try some bananas for the headaches. I've definitely been drinking more water than I usually do because before pregnancy sometimes I'd get dehydration headaches. And I'm jealous that you find out gender in two days! So exciting. I have to wait until the 14th. Some ladies at work did the necklace test today on me and it said boy haha.

psychochick...I totally understand the feeling you're describing. Not really hungry, but never totally satisfied. Sometimes I'll feel STARVING and I'll make myself a huge serving of something, I'll eat a few bites, feel kind of full, and then wonder why I still feel kind of hungry but not interested in eating 5 minutes later.

and as for dreams...I've been having some crazy ones. The recurring theme lately has been my mother refusing to help me with even simple things (stemming from my wedding where she pretty much fell off the face of the planet and didn't want to help at all). Both have involved me moving. First dream I was living in my mom's house for some reason but I was trying to move out. I stayed home all day and packed non-stop while she was at work. She was supposed to help me load up the moving truck and drive it when she got home but she freaked out on me because I didn't manage to pack all of the boxes by the time she got home and so she stormed off and left me stranded.

Second dream I was moving out of my first apartment and everything was just about packed up. I had loads of people there to help me including my parents-in-law, husband, sister, and mother. My mom was being unhelpful and when we were down to the last few things, she was getting really antsy to leave. I asked if everyone could carry down one of my potted plants (I don't even have plants haha) to the moving truck because that was all that was left. She threw a temper tantrum about being "done" and said "I'm not carrying your stupid plant for you" with a sassy attitude.

Weird dreams. I had a rough year with my mom last year in real life...but things have been getting better. It was really tough on her I think to see me get married because she was in the middle of divorcing my father. It's just funny that my subconscious is still pretty angry with her about everything based on my dreams.

My second daughter didn't have a for sure name until the day after she was born. My family and friends spent most of my pregnancy telling me how weird the name Seraphina was. So I never fully committed to the name. We still hadn't decided between Seraphina and Evelynn by the time my older kids came to visit. But my son walked in and said "I'm here to see my new baby sister, Seraphina." So he actually decided for us. :haha:
 
I was wishing so hard to get through to 19 weeks without incident, and so far I'm okay. However, a lovely woman from another thread found out that her baby has trisomy 18. I feel so gutted, guilty and all around devastated- it takes me back to less than a year ago hoping against hope that my genetic tests would be okay after a bad NT scan. I just can't understand how this amazing process can on the other side wreck people's lives like this.
 
Xan- I'm so sorry! It's heartbreaking and davestating. I learned that a friend's son who is barely 18 months has muscular dystrophy and will be in a wheel chair by 12 and die before his twenties and most of his life will be spent at a hospital and right now he's completely normal, this bright blue eyed blonde hair chubby little boy who is always so happy. I still remember her being pregnant with him and finding out its a boy.

There's no good explanation to why bad things happen.
 
Huge hugs Xan must have been difficult to read xx
